Explorer II
A guide by day and by night
24-hour time reading. A date window. A contrasting and luminescent display. Combining reliability, robustness, precision and optimal legibility in the most extreme conditions, the Oyster Perpetual Explorer II brings together decisive advantages to accompany those who explore the ends of the Earth.
The Explorer II features an additional broad, orange hand that completes one full rotation of the dial every 24 hours. It offers an alternative way of reading time, essential in certain situations.
Exclusive to Rolex, the Chromalight display on the Explorer II’s black or white dial provides optimal legibility, no matter the light conditions.
The Explorer II displays the date in a window at 3 o’clock, magnified by the Cyclops lens – an essential piece of information for lengthy exploration missions.
The Explorer II’s Oyster case is completely waterproof and dustproof. Thanks to its larger size, it allows for a wider dial opening, thus contributing to the watch’s excellent legibility.
The Explorer II is crafted in Oystersteel, an exclusive alloy that retains its shine even when the watch is put to extreme use.
Developed in the late 1930s, the Oyster bracelet remains the most universal within the Oyster Perpetual collection.
Entirely developed and manufactured in-house, the Explorer II’s calibre 3285 incorporates Rolex’s latest innovations.
